I almost peed my pants when I saw this and thought... IN GREECE! I had to go to a Vzw corporate store last night for my son.. and the rep said SIX MONTHS for an official OS update from VZW. I hope he was joking!

Europe needs some good news about now. :)

He may have been joking to himself, in which case he assumes you are stupid. Or he himself had no knowledge of the subject and just guessed to sound smart. Either way that guy should be fired.

I keep thinking about Verizon's Storm commercial...the one where the guy is playing with the phone (simulated, of course) and he says how it feels so "right." Yeah, right. False advertising has never felt so wrong...

I just keep waiting for the day I can be happy about dropping T-Mobile and my Curve. I'd really love a phone that actually does what its supposed to do...even for a day...give me just one day I don't have to curse the thing out...

They had no idea when any kind of OS update will be released over here...no suprises there then.

In fact when I explained that I had been on this thing called the Internet and found leaked versions way ahead of .78 as well as Vodafone Greece having released .100 she actually said to me - "Well it sounds like you definitely know more than I could do on this !" - talk about dismall customer service!

Question for the boffins though - will this version work ok on a UK Vodafone 9500??

Pheeeew I'm downloading the software as I write this, and boy oh boy it's taking FOREVER! Seems like the rest of the planet is doing the same! My download speed is, wait for it, 12 Kb/second....I wonder just where I am in the queue?

How did you get it to work? I downloaded it an all that happened was it updated the Desktop Software. Didn't update the device software. I tried the 106 version and it did the same thing... installed Desktop... nada for the Device!
